    What’s actually happened is that you can’t see the name‘s as nearly half the banner consists of advertising for this forum. Poor form really. If you wanted more publicity for this site you should have paid for it yourselves rather than getting the members to chip in for it.

    If you look at post 2 in this thread, the proposed design was made very clear. In fact the area used for advertising the site, was reduced on the final design, to allow the backers to take up more space.

    The Mockup design is even worse than the one published on the actual banner. Over half of it consists of the site name and logo, and you’ve then printed out the site URL again in ‘small’, which is still 10 times the size of the names that you can’t actually see.

    Why are you even concerned? Are you unhappy that your name can't be seen? Oh wait...

    Hmm, seems we are getting more and more criticism of the idea and maybe even the forum itself lately. Strangely enough, a few of the more critical ones also seem to post on a neighbouring site. Imagine that.
    How's hobbers doing? Still think he was one of the better posters from the old C&B.

    Whether my name is on there is besides the point.

    I really don't think the serious, regular contributors will be at all concerned.

    If you think about it advertising this forum benefits everyone. More traffic on the site, more posts, more opinions, more debate, better forum. More clicks on advertising, equals more money to go towards running and updating the site and therefor less people needing to help out and donate to running costs. Not forgetting the fact that £600 has gone to the club. Win win win.

    Is it?

    Why are you bothered if it affects you in no way whatsoever?

    Just fancy a good moan?

    See a chance to get a little dig in?

    Just wondering that's all, please enlighten me.

    Frank, you should have let Kid Crayola get his crayons and do a mock up.

    Fancy calling out a scam where I see it. If you want advertising for this forum which looking at the final product was your only motive then pay for it yourselves. Feel sorry for those who have been conned.

    If the only thing you notice on the banner is Bantamtalk.com then that’s what it should have been sold as- advertising for this forum.

    You are a miserable so and so.
    They asked for donations and received them. There was no "getting" anyone to contribute.
    As for the design it was already clear to me anyway the general look of the banner and that all usernames would be clearly visible but only in a close up shot.
    If you don't like how this forum is run you can easily go some where else, nobody is making you come on here.

    Isn't the idea of the banner to raise money for the club, irrelevant of what's on the banner, no one made members donate as they dont have to donate to the forum.

    Brilliant!

    Thought it may take a couple more posts to prove my point but there you go. ;)

    Well and truly showing yourself up here. Just waiting for your fellow Arsers to chip in (although to be fair they're a lot smarter than yourself and wouldn't make it so blatantly obvious).

    Is someone wishing a neighbouring forum had more traffic?

    Mate, the banner was always about promoting Bantam Talk hence why I put in a post ' I am only doing it for Bantam Talk'

    Promoting Bantam Talk makes prefect sense as it benefits everyone on here. Better posters will hopefully join and we will have better debates, more traffic to the site which will boost digital adverting plus much more.

    What did you want pal?

    You know I would hammer @Dennis@Dennis @Frank Castle@Frank Castle @SimonW@SimonW @king karl@king karl @Bigrod@Bigrod @StaffordBantam@StaffordBantam if I thought they deserved it but not this time. I think this is a great idea. Just get behind this wonderful site and help drive it forward.
